Hard to disagree with what Gaetz said
Question: Why would Matt Gaetz vote against something like this?
Possible Answer: Because Speaker of the House McCarthy was for it, and Matt still has a (mysterious) bone to pick with Kevin. Matt is still not beyond throwing a road block in front of the Speaker, just for spite.
This may have something to do with a few months back, when Matt Gaetz was being accused of Sex Trafficking a 17 y/o girl. Perhaps Matt thinks the GOP did not fight for him very hard, left him hanging out to dry.
I sorta agree with Gaetz on this issue. Once government official are empowered with granting the people a right, then they can also take that right away. Rights of parents should be inherent and endowed upon people by their very existence and the fact that they are the parents of their own children. Unless a parent is causing a known harm to their child and violating a state law, then the federal government has no right to interfere. Parents should be allowed to educate their child as they see fit and to have control of the educational doctrine of their local school system.
There should be no “rights” given by government and passed by laws as to a parent’s rights to have a say-so in their child’s education. It should be a given. I assure you that if such a law is passed, the left will use it to impose certain requirements on parents as to what subject matter their children should be required to learn, including requiring home-schooled children to be indoctrinated in the current LGIBLET choices. That the government giveth, it can also take away.
I hope every one of those republicans that voted against it gets replaced!
I’m with Gaetz. I think I held that position before he was born.
Gaetz is an ideologue idiot. Dept. of Ed is not going away, that is only a cheap excuse and ignores what the legislation is attempting to address.
I watched his histrionic grilling of Gen. Mike Langley earlier today and he was - as always, a pompous. posturing windbag.
Very telling who voted against that.
I read the article and followed the links and I can’t find the names of the other 4 Republicans that voted against the bill. Can someone tell me who they are?
FedGov has no role in education.
Period.
If it takes an act of Congress to establish and protect marriage, life, and family, then the battle is already lost, the object yielded. It is like trying to establish and protect the rising sun. It is stupidity taking on the appearance of moral superiority. It is probably why someone once coined the phrase, “you cannot legislate morality,” which is another way of saying laws will not change an evil heart.
Gaetz is correct. The Dept of Education needs to go. States need to handle their own schools.
